" Sisters Together "

Today I am sharing a layout that I have created as part of the Design Team at CSI

I love working with the case files at CSI. I just get so much inspiration when I first receive them.

Sometimes its the colours that starts me or the embellishments (evidence) or sometimes it will be the journalling, but what ever the starting point is I think that the case files are fantastic way to get that mojo going.

This is case file 173.

This is a photo of my granddaughters Emelia on the right and Eliza. Their Mum snapped this gorgeous photo of older sister helping her little sister getting dressed.

We are hoping to take the same photo when one of them is getting married and the other is helping getting her sister dressing for the big day.

Planning my scrapping ahead.

For the background I have placed strips of paper vertical on the cardstock

slanting it down the page (as per evidence)

Then I added the green paint, plasterers tape and grid stencil with Texture paste. Finished off the background with some black stamping.

I journaled on the top of the page on the zig zag pattern of the middle paper. It says IDEA; I am going to photograph these two when one of them gets married. I think the two photos will be wonderful scrapped together.

You can see all the layers and textures that I have put on this page.

I fussy cut out some flowers and added them to the clusters

I decided to ink all the chipboard with black to make it stand out on the layout.

I think this title by ScrapFX is just perfect.

I love to add Kaisercut outs to my pages and this one is no different.

This is me

I am happily married with 3 grown children and 2 gorgeous litttle granddaughters. I live in the beautiful area of Lake Macquarie in NSW, Australia.

I started this journey in scrapbooking in early 2012 at the insistence of my BFF.

Since that time I have entered many online challenge sites and actually won some. I have been published numerous times in Australian scrapbook magazines and have had a 4 page feature, which was very exciting.

Early this year I was asked to teach at my local scrapbook store which I now do once a week.

I love to go on scrap retreats with my 2 travelling scrap sisters. I have met some absolutely amazingly creative ladies along the way and now have some wonderful friends in scrapworld.

I can't wait to see where this thing called scrapbooking takes me in the future and with my new motto of " be true to yourself" the sky's the limit.

I must say " thank-you " to my wonderful hubby who is not only a wonderful supporter but also my unwavering enabler.
